On real bisectional curvature for Hermitian manifolds

Motivated by the recent work of Wu and Yau on the ampleness of canonical line bundle for compact Kähler manifolds with negative holomorphic sectional curvature, we introduce a new curvature notion called $\textbf{real bisectional curvature}$ for Hermitian manifolds. When the metric is Kähler, this is just the holomorphic sectional curvature $H$, and when the metric is non-Kähler, it is slightly stronger than $H$. We classify compact Hermitian manifolds with constant non-zero real bisectional curvature, and also slightly extend Wu-Yau's theorem to the Hermitian case. The underlying reason for the extension is that the Schwarz lemma of Wu-Yau works the same when the target metric is only Hermitian but has nonpositive real bisectional curvature.

Hirzebruch manifolds and positive holomorphic sectional curvature

This paper is the first step in a systematic project to study examples of Kähler manifolds with positive holomorphic sectional curvature ($H > 0$). Previously Hitchin proved that any compact Kähler surface with $H>0$ must be rational and he constructed such examples on Hirzebruch surfaces $M_{2, k}=\mathbb{P}(H^{k}\oplus 1_{\mathbb{CP}^1})$. We generalize Hitchin's construction and prove that any Hirzebruch manifold $M_{n, k}=\mathbb{P}(H^{k}\oplus 1_{\mathbb{CP}^{n-1}})$ admits a Kähler metric of $H>0$ in each of its Kähler classes. We demonstrate that the pinching behaviors of holomorphic sectional curvatures of new examples differ from those of Hitchin's which were studied in the recent work of Alvarez-Chaturvedi-Heier. Some connections to recent works on the Kähler-Ricci flow on Hirzebruch manifolds are also discussed. It seems interesting to study the space of all Kähler metrics of $H>0$ on a given Kähler manifold. We give higher dimensional examples such that some Kähler classes admit Kähler metrics with $H>0$ and some do not.

On Bismut Flat Manifolds

In this paper, we give a classification of all compact Hermitian manifolds with flat Bismut connection. We show that the torsion tensor of such a manifold must be parallel, thus the universal cover of such a manifold is a Lie group equipped with a bi-invariant metric and a compatible left invariant complex structure. In particular, isosceles Hopf surfaces are the only Bismut flat compact non-Kähler surfaces, while central Calabi-Eckmann threefolds are the only simply-connected compact Bismut flat threefolds.

On projectivized vector bundles and positive holomorphic sectional curvature

We generalize a construction of Hitchin to prove that, given any compact Kähler manifold $M$ with positive holomorphic sectional curvature and any holomorphic vector bundle $E$ over $M$, the projectivized vector bundle ${\mathbb P}(E)$ admits a Kähler metric with positive holomorphic sectional curvature.

The set of all orthogonal complex structures on the flat $6$-tori

In \cite{BSV}, Borisov, Salamon and Viaclovsky constructed non-standard orthogonal complex structures on flat tori $T^{2n}_{\mathbb R}$ for any $n\geq 3$. We will call these examples BSV-tori. In this note, we show that on a flat $6$-torus, all the orthogonal complex structures are either the complex tori or the BSV-tori. This solves the classification problem for compact Hermitian manifolds with flat Riemannian connection in the case of complex dimension three.

An Extension Theorem for Real Kahler Submanifolds in Codimension Four

In this article, we prove a Kahler extension theorem for real Kahler submanifolds of codimension 4 and rank at least 5. Our main theorem states that such a manifold is a holomorphic hypersurface in another real Kahler submanifold of codimension 2. This generalizes a result of Dajczer and Gromoll in 1997 which states that any real Kahler submanifolds of codimension 3 and rank at least 4 admits a Kahler extension.

A Dajczer-Rodriguez Type Cylinder Theorem for Real Kahler Submanifolds

In 1991, Dajczer and Rodriguez proved in [10] that a complete minimal real Kahler submanifold of codimension 2, if with complex dimension > 2, would be either holomorphic, or a cylinder, or complex ruled. In this article, we generalize their result to real analytic complete real Kahler submanifolds of codimension 4. The conclusion is that such the submanifold, if with complex dimension > 4, would be either partially holomorphic, or a cylinder, or a twisted cylinder in the sense that the complex relative nullity foliation is contained in a strictly larger holomorphic foliation, whose leaves are cylinders. We also examine the question of when such a submanifold is complex ruled.

An example of compact Kähler manifold with nonnegative quadratic bisectional curvature

We construct a compact Kähler manifold of nonnegative quadratic bisectional curvature, which does not admit any Kähler metric of nonnegative orthogonal bisectional curvature. The manifold is a 7-dimensional Kähler C-space with second Betti number equal to 1, and its canonical metric is a Kähler-Einstein metric of positive scalar curvature

Complex product manifolds cannot be negatively curved

We show that if $M = X \times Y$ is the product of two complex manifolds (of positive dimensions), then $M$ does not admit any complete Kähler metric with bisectional curvature bounded between two negative constants. More generally, a locally-trivial holomorphic fibre-bundle does not admit such a metric.

Complete real Kahler submanifolds in codimension two

Minimal isometric immersions F in codimension two from a complete Kahler manifold into Euclidean space had been classified for dimension greater than or equal to 3. In this note we describe the non--minimal situation by showing that, if F is real analytic but not everywhere minimal, then F is a cylinder over a real Kahler surface G in Euclidean 6-space. In addition, G can be further described.

Piecewise Euclidean structures and Eberlein's Rigidity Theorem in the singular case

In this article, we generalize Eberlein's Rigidity Theorem to the singular case, namely, one of the spaces is only assumed to be a CAT(0) topological manifold. As a corollary, we get that any compact irreducible but locally reducible locally symmetric space of noncompact type does not admit a nonpositively curved (in the Aleksandrov sense) piecewise Euclidean structure. Any hyperbolic manifold, on the other hand, does admit such a structure.
